adrielx 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2011 My wife and I have been searching high and low for a flat in the west side for a long time. Originally we were looking at Pandan Gardens but the 5rm units there are rarely up for sale so we set our sights on other parts of west side. After what seemed like ages, we finally found a 5rm flat at Boon Lay Drive which is near primary school (gd for our son) and set down an OTP deposit.. Now just waiting to renovate and move into the flat. Will post pics once possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But **** worthwhile as AudioHouse having 21% discount on all their products~~ Mitsubishi Folio series E-62 Fridge bought for only $3633 while other big retails stores are selling at $4499~~ shiok..

mae29 2 Report post Posted July 6, 2011 Hi, brotherWelcome to this forum. Indeed the 5-room flat especially the point block unit with 2-access doors like my unit is hard to come by, as Pandan Gardens is a very small estate. Those flats at Boon Lay from Blk 201 to Blk 206 also come with 2-access doors. I used to stay in Boon Lay near the Market for whole of my younger days until I got married. Now, I will be camping here for your updates!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrielx 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 Just got home from meeting up with William of Summit Design Studios. Have to say that he is really quite knowledgeable and good at wat he does. William gave us quite some good ideas and proposals. His quote shld come in next week but we've got a feeling that it's gonna be pricey.. Sourcing for IDs is such a tiring task, especially looking for those who are really good and able to give us good prices.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
